Speaker 1 Summary

Dr. Jones claims that telemedicine will improve care for rural patients. How so? Because it will allow far-away specialists to consult on rural patients’ conditions. This will give rural patients access to additional sources of advice, thus improving their care.

Speaker 2 Summary

Dr. Carabella argues that telemedicine will actually lower the quality of care for both rural and urban patients. This will happen because small hospitals will cut costs by replacing in-person doctors with remote care. Because of this, fewer patients will receive traditional care. Thus, it will become rare that patients receive personalized care. (We can infer that this means a lower quality of care.)

Objective

We’re looking for a point of disagreement. The doctors disagree on whether telemedicine will ultimately raise or lower the quality of care for rural patients.
